Rare Ombud Posted May 12 #101 Share Posted May 12 I guess it all depends on the voyage and what PCL needs to eliminate in order to fit that lounge in. IMHO eliminating something as large as the Vista Lounge for the entire voyage to fit in a lounge dedicated to 1 Captain Circle class isn't practical. And yes, there have been over 700 elites on my recent voyages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 12 Author #102 Share Posted May 12 How many people (at any one time) does the current Royal Class ship concierge lounge have? I see it as a place for an office. And a place where people will pop in to grab a bite/drink. Do passengers really lounge in the lounge? I will never find out since I won't cruise on these big ships. I would like this option on their smaller ships though. I think Princess will be surprised how many folks would cruise on a smaller ship that included all of the best. I'd even pay a little more. There is no right or wrong answer. Thanks to everyone who has participated in this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, we are only wanting, wishing, hoping, imagining, pretending a new design for a new ship not retrofitting a current ship or class of ship. 🙄 Reality doesn't need to be part of the design or this thread. As a disclaimer do I really think a dedicated lounge for P&E will ever happen? My Magic 8 Ball says, "cannot predict now". 🎱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact I had suggested your fourth bullet in one of my previous posts. Glad we agree. Cheers. 🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. 🍻 Yeah ..... those 3 depts can achieve their objects without wasting so much floor space As ships get larger i find myself looking for smaller alternatives (note to self: must try Coral) I realize that we want slightly different things outside of those 2-3 but it'd be nice if there was a line that had both (albeit on different ships) Edited May 12 by Ombud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up as I'll try and avoid you at the next CC HH as I don't want to hear you try to outdo others. Cheers...🍻😂 Cheers. I avoid those events.. so we won't bump into each other lol. I can't comment on Celebrity or RC.. but on Princess it's rife. Who cares how many times you've cruised. 😁🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying make MUTS quiet, and only have headphones, but have enough headphones to help out those who want it louder Great idea. Even better if we could connect our own AirPods or headphones.

Firefly74 Posted May 16 #113 Share Posted May 16 Can we talk about moving electrical outlets to near the bed? There are enough CPAP users to make this a no-brainer. (I'm married to one.) I'm also another vote for better quiet areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not encourage Princess to move any further in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
